GO VOLS

Despite the unfortunate outcome of last weekend's UT game, Ben and I had a BLAST (minus the 1 hr wait in the parking garage on the way home...IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT)! The crowd was awesome...seems like we were doing a lot of cheering on "3rd DOWN" b/c UCLA had A LOT of them! Our defense was great though! Luckily, Ben doesn't get too worked up anymore about whether or not Tennessee wins or loses. He has been following this new coaching regime quite a bit and really interested in the recruiting process, so he is already looking towards next year.
We thought the UCLA game was going to turn out a bit better, but we still had fun. A little worried about Florida this weekend. I plan on leaving for that time...as I don't think I can bear to watch it. But hey...you NEVER know!
There is still NOTHING like Neyland Stadium on a fall Saturday! It is amazing. Whether you are a UT fan or not...it is incredible...such great tradition and history! We are looking forward to a few more games! We have season tickets and actually plan on using them this year. The last two years...one...we had a brand newborn...then we moved last fall, so we were a bit busy. Sad to say that we will attend more games this year (living in Georgia) than we did when we lived like 30 minutes away!
GO BIG ORANGE!

I do love this part before the game when the band plays...
and of course...running through the "T"! One of my favorite traditions! Gives me goosebumps everytime.
Had to zoom in on Orgeron and Monte Kiffin(far right). Ben just read a book on Ed Orgeron and thinks he is awesome!
We finally made it in time to stop by our friend's, the Coleman's, tailgate. This is my best friend, Mandy from high school. LOVE HER...and miss her lots!
Johnathan (Mandy's husband) and Ben. we asked if we could take their picture and they made these silly faces. Awkward man pose! Why can't guys just take a picture together without thinking it's silly?
Kristin, me and Mandy! Miss these girls!

Yay, Kate!! Congratulations to you too!! The main difference is having a little one to take care of this time around... i'm sure you would agree. And I'm working during all this first trimester stuff, last time this stuff was during the summer for me. Anyway, how fun! Hope you're feeling ok. Keep me posted! :)
